Get revision number of a remote repository

svn webdav revision

On the local machine it is no problem to get the revision number of a subversion repository with svnversion. Now I want to get the revision number from my online repository (WebDAV with Apache2).

I tried this: 

svnversion http://nick:[email protected]/svn/test`

In a browser it worked as usual (just to ensure there weren't typos or so), but svnversion said that the directory cannot be found. So I presume I was on the wrong track.

How can I get the revision number?

svnversion is just for working copies, but one way to query your repository would be to use svn info as follows:

svn info http://nick:[email protected]/svn | grep Revision
